This book reminds me of Pilgrims Progress. A good read and an enchanting world view. I got a little lost in the magnitude, but liked the presentation enough to read about half before wishing to have a little more idea of where and how the story was to progress. It had a lot of fun segments with the wonder of non-physical phenomena, but the purpose and plot were not strong enough in the first part of the text to engender enough curiosity in how the whole thing was going to work together. A winderful effort to displace Pilgrims Progress with similar context, but the re-write would need editing for time spent reading it. For something as ethereal as this the point should be given early and the support of the text should follow suit. Not enough push and pull to keep the reader in grips with the connection between the revelation of a spirit life and the reality of existence which we all endure dauly in our own lives. I applaud the coceptt of mental discipline and wonder if God will ever allow us to attain it? How many of the billions of humanity ever stop to think of forever seriously enough to make the effort to seek it out?
